Vettias the Pirate

Vettias the Pirate (465 BC-431 BC) was a Greek pirate captain during the 5th century BC. In 431 BC, he and his fellow captain Philon the Pirate looted the cargo aboard the sailor Barnabas' trireme Adrestia at Kleptous Bay, Cephalonia as Barnabas was being drowned by the Cyclops of Kephallonia, but the mercenary Kassandra slew the Cyclops and returned to the Adrestia with Barnabas and Barnabas' crew. The Adrestia caught up to the pirates in the Ionian Sea, and the pirates were killed in a boarding action by the crew of the Adrestia.
